The Move Abroad Coach Podcast

If you think you need to learn coding, AI, or become a VA to move abroad… think again.

You already have skills people will pay for—you just need to reposition, not reinvent. In this episode, I’m calling out the biggest myth that’s keeping talented people stuck and showing you how to use what you already know to start making money fast—without burnout, imposter syndrome, or another expensive certification.

In this episode:

After 2 months, 8 cities, and 3 bottles of wine… the Sicily episode is finally here—take two. And this time, the mic was actually turned on. 😅

In this unfiltered, brutally honest recap, we’re spilling all the tea (and some wine) on our scouting trip through Sicily: from getting robbed in Syracuse to being underwhelmed by seafood pasta in Palermo. We’re sharing the good, the bad, and the oh-so-trashy (literally).

So you want to move abroad with your fluffy friend... where do you even get started?

So you’ve built the “good life”—the salary, the benefits, the prestige. But what if the very things that look like success are keeping you from living the life you actually want?

In this episode, I do a deep dive into the concept of golden handcuffs—how jobs that offer security and status can still feel like a trap. From six-figure salaries with chronic stress to the dream of moving abroad that’s always “on hold,” I explore the invi...

In this juicy episode, we cracked open a bottle of wine from Crete and spilled all the tea on what it was really like scouting Greece as a potential new home. This isn’t a travel recap—it’s our unfiltered, slightly tipsy thoughts on what it would actually be like to live in Greece long-term with a toddler, a business, and dreams of European life.

We talk about:

• Why Greece made our move abroad shortlist (and why so few people cons...

At 50, she made a radical decision: to choose...

Moving abroad is an exciting, life-changing decision—but what happens when guilt, doubt, and other people’s opinions start creeping in?
